Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a granulating machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a machine is known for example from US Pat. No. 5,330,113.
  • the rotor of this machine rotates on bearings housed in a protective casing of a gear return.
  • This casing is arranged under the rotor, the latter being driven by a lateral drive shaft and by said bevel gear mounted on the rotor shaft and on the drive shaft.
  • the axial position of the rotor on its shaft that is to say the clearance between the rotor and the screen, can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of washers placed between the upper end of the shaft of the rotor and the bottom of the rotor bore. It is obvious that any change in the axial position of the rotor requires the disassembly of the rotor from its shaft, which, moreover, cannot be carried out without first stopping the machine.
  • US Pat. No. 4,773,599 presents a granulating machine with a device making it possible to adjust the axial position of the rotor and thus the clearance between the rotor and the screen.
  • the adjustment is carried out using a disc accessible above the rotor and the screen, this disc, the axis of the rotor and the bearings of the rotor placed above the rotor preventing working in line.
  • a first object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the rotor with its shaft is axially displaceable by an adjustment device acting on the rotor shaft below said rotor and said screen.
  • this adjustment device acts on the bearing of the rotor which is axially displaceable.
  • Another disadvantage of the known machine lies in the fact that the bevel wheels which transmit the rotation from the drive shaft to the rotor shaft must be in an oil bath, which requires a tight seal the housing in which the bevel wheels are located, the bearings of the rotor shaft and the drive shaft.
  • the risk of leakage cannot be completely eliminated.
  • Another object of the present invention is therefore to avoid these drawbacks. This object is achieved by driving the rotor using a belt.
  • the illustrated machine has a tubular frame 1 which forms a vertical channel for the passage of the granules after introduction into a funnel 2 of the material to be granulated pressed by the wings 3 of a rotor 4 through a frustoconical sieve 5.
  • the granulated material falls in said vertical channel, which makes it possible to work online, that is to say that the material passes through the machine in a vertical direction and on the same axis.
  • the upper edge of the screen 5 rests on a conical surface of a standard ring 6 against which the screen is pressed by a clamping ring 7.
  • the vertical position, or positioning in height, of the standard ring is therefore a function of the depth of the notches 8. It is thus possible to determine the vertical position of the screen by the angular position of the standard ring 6, which makes it possible to compensate the thickness of the screen 5, so that independently of the latter, the inner surface of said screen (that is to say that located on the side of the channel) is always in the same position in height.
  • the lower end of the screen 5 is welded to a conical guide flange 10. Several seals provide sealing between the different parts of the machine.
  • the shaft 11 of the rotor 4 rotates, according to the example, on two tapered roller bearings 12 in an upper part 13a of a casing 13.
  • the lower part 13b of the casing is welded to a support tube 14 which is fixed to the tubular frame 1.
  • the casing 13 has a bottom 13d welded to its lower part 13b.
  • a transverse pin 15 arranged at the lower end of the shaft 11 of the rotor is engaged with a fork 16 of a pulley 17 rotating on a ball bearing around a journal 18.
  • the pulley 17 can be driven in rotation by a belt 19, itself driven by a motor not shown.
  • the rotor shaft and the rotor, free to rotate, are thus coupled to the pulley 17, while being axially displaceable by virtue of the coupling produced by the pin 15 and the fork 16.
  • a collar 13c of the casing engages with little play in the flange 10 of the screen 5.
  • the axial displacement of the upper part 13a of the casing with the bearings 12, the shaft 11 and the rotor 4 can be controlled and controlled using an adjustment device.
  • This adjustment device comprises an adjustment wheel 20 associated with a vernier 21.
  • the rotation of the wheel 20 is transmitted by a shaft 22, bevel wheels 23, an adjustment shaft 24 and bevel wheels 25 to a socket 26 having a thread engaged with a thread in the upper part 13a of the casing 13.
  • the shaft 11 of the rotor and the rotor 4 can be moved vertically, even during operation of the machine, for the purpose of adjusting the distance or space between the rotor 4, that is to say the arms 3 thereof, and the inner surface of the screen 5.
  • the relative position of the arms 3 of the rotor with respect to the inner surface of the screen 5 is indicated on the vernier 21, since the wheel 20 moves axially when it is turned to adjust the distance rotor - screen. In other words, this distance is indicated and read directly on the vernier 21.
  • the adjustment device which has just been described makes it possible to carry out a precise adjustment, this without touching the screen, or other elements than the wheel 20 .
  • a device for locking the adjustment made in order to eliminate intermediate positions.
  • Such blocking can be obtained, for example by providing a latching mechanism.
  • stops limiting the lower positioning of the rotor so as to prevent, on the one hand, any contact between the latter and the screen and, on the other hand, the creation of metallic particles consequent to the friction metal against metal.
  • the machine has a cooling system. Cooling air can be admitted through a tube 27, a channel 28 and a bore 29 of the shaft 11 of the rotor in the space 30 and in the space surrounding the coupling 15, 16 and the pulley 17. It is thus possible to maintain the temperature of the parts liable to undergo heating to an acceptable level.
  • the machine has the following favorable characteristics: Because the tightening of the screen 5 is done from the inside, the geometric shape and the position of the screen are perfectly determined.
  • the casing 13 with its welded bottom 13d and the tube 14 welded to the lower part 13b of the casing form an absolutely sealed assembly, without fixing element or the like elements which could become detached, the only two connections between mobile mechanical elements being arranged in the upper part, that is to say above the screen 5.
  • This construction makes it possible to avoid a double risk of contamination of the granules. In fact, the latter cannot come into contact with either oily or greasy residues or other particles and dust, or with any loose part which could become detached.
  • the lower flange 10 of the screen increases the rigidity while facilitating the centering of the screen, and the slope of the flange towards the outside allows good flow of the product against the wall of the screen. It is possible to stack screens without contacting the walls against each other. The large space remaining between the screen and the wall of the frame facilitates the removal and replacement of the screen (s).
  • the machine can be easily cleaned and dismantled, and sterilized online.
  • Washing nozzles can be installed.
  • the shape and size of the screen perforations can be adapted to requirements.
  • the sieves 5 and the standard ring 6 can be provided with locking means, so that the mounting of the sieve and the standard ring can only be done in the only correct position, any error becoming impossible. It is possible to provide a temperature probe which makes it possible to control the system, that is to say to adjust the speed, or to stop the machine or even to activate the cooling device as the case may be.
  • Means can also be provided to limit the downward stroke of the rotor in order to avoid direct contact between the rotor and the screen.
  • FIG. 4 schematically represents a variant.
  • a servo motor 31 is provided instead of the adjustment wheel 20 to control the adjustment device described above.
  • the motor 31 is controlled by an electronic control unit 32 which can include programmed and / or programmable memories. With the keys 33, it is possible to choose memorized programs or to enter and memorize data to automatically control the position of the rotor.
  • discs can be introduced via an input 34, programs being read from these discs to control the position of the rotor and / or other parameters such as the speed of the rotor.
  • the control unit can also be provided with one or more displays 35 which make it possible to check the quantity or quantities ordered or programmed.
